Walmart

Walmart is anti-union. I am anti-union……but I don’t support Walmart. I’m anti-union because I wouldn’t be able to make a living if I had to pay my workers union wages. I simply wouldn’t be able to hire them. So we have this agreement that a non-union job is better than no job. For me a non-union company is better than no company. I look forward to the day when I can pay my workers union pay.

I still wouldn’t work with the union, though. Unions are needed if there is a breakdown of communication between boss and worker. As long as boss and worker are communicating openly and honestly with each others mutual interests in mind then I don’t think a union is needed. I suspect this is only possible if the company stays small. If there are thousands of workers then a union makes sense.

Walmart makes more money than they know what to do with. Come on! They can afford to pay better wages and treat their workers with more respect. Walmart is crap.
